Chapter 1085 - 291: Scarlet River Poison Shadow Mandarine Blade, Kunlun Heroic Spirit Sun-Moon Heart_4

The Wokou Leader bellowed and drew the Crescent Moon Saber inscribed with Sanskrit characters.

He stepped into the river, and the splashing water bizarrely suspended in mid-air, transforming into countless water blades shooting at Shi Feiyang.

Shi Feiyang snorted coldly, as the Celestial Frost Blade sketched a Tai Chi Diagram, and where the ice-blue True Qi reached, the water blades instantaneously crystallized into ice shards and dropped.

He closed in swiftly, the edge of his blade aimed directly at the Wokou’s face, cursing, "Japanese sorcery, that’s all it is!"

From the shadows came the sound of mechanisms, as twelve Poisoned Bone-Piercing Nails attacked from above, middle, and below.

Shi Feiyang’s figure darted like a phantom, his left hand’s fingers forming a sword, striking seven beams of ice to knock down all hidden weapons.

His right hand suddenly released the Celestial Frost Blade, turning into a blue light and pinning the ninja hiding within to a beam, blood dropping from the edge onto the deck, forming winding blood ice.

Within the Five Elements Array formed by the Heroic Sakura Association disciples, "Iron Palm" Wu Zhong launched a technique "Dragon Subdues Evil," and the palm wind swept away the snake swarm like falling leaves. Shi Feiyang and the Wokou Leader were locked in fierce battle when the opponent suddenly spat blood, and the blood-stained scimitar emitted a demonic red glow. "Blood Sacrifice: The Appearance of the Eight-Headed Serpent!" As the Wokou shrieked, a gigantic wave rose on the river, with eight large snake shadows appearing on its crest.

Shi Feiyang laughed to the sky, and his True Qi vortex suddenly expanded threefold, then bellowed, "You came at the right time!"

The Celestial Frost Blade raised high above, absorbing the moonlight to transform into a silver white pillar of light. The Hundred Victories Saber Technique’s "Heaven and Earth Silence" delivered a stunning slash, cleaving a hundred-zhang ice valley on the river, and the eight serpent shadows shattered inch by inch within the blade aura, with blood mist and ice crystals flying across the sky.

"Snake King" Qu San Geng saw the unfavorable situation and dashed forcefully to break free of the ice sculpture, turning to escape.

Guo Xiangyu flung a golden silk whip, entangling his ankle, and tugged forcefully. Shi Feiyang seized the opportunity to slap out a technique "Golden Dragon Coils Claw," and Qu San Geng was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture again, this time thoroughly frozen to death inside the ice sculpture, reflecting a chilling cold light in the moonlight.

When the last Wokou was dismembered by the chaotic blades of the Heroic Sakura Association disciples, the Chishui River floated with piles of debris and snake corpses, blood-reddened waters reflecting broken ships, resembling a Human Purgatory.

The crescent moon hung like a hook, the blood-red waters of Chishui River gleaming with dark red ripples, staining the black outfits of the three thousand disciples of Heroic Sakura Association into mottled patterns.

The Five Elements Array formed by the people was like an impregnable fortress: Gold disciples clashed swords and blades, cold light glimmering like stars; Wood disciples raised spears in unison, spear tassels like blood-colored treetops; Water disciples splashed their poisonous water hissing, where it touched instantly dissolved snake bodies into pus; Fire disciples shot fire arrows breaking the void, turning the night sky crimson; Earth disciples moved massive stones, hurling them like giant spirits throwing mountains, splintering enemy ships.

As the ferry approached shore to make camp, suddenly the sound of hooves thundered like torrential rain.

"Celestial Sword" Lu Wen Tripod’s white hair fluttered, his long sword yet to return to its sheath, he shouted urgently, "Grand Squad Leader Shi! Yang Yinglong’s rebel army has laid out the Heaven, Earth, and Man Three Talents Poison Array, guarded further by three extraordinary individuals under his command. This array combines Miaojiang toxins and Qimen Dunjia, it’s sinister beyond compare!"

Before his words finished, Blood Rakshasa led his followers out of the dense forest, with bluish purple curse texts on his face rising and falling with his breathing, he said, "Each of those three extraordinary individuals excels in a skill, ’Poison Guanyin’ with the Ten Thousand Poison Golden Needle, ’Inconstant Hand’ with the Throat-locking Shadow Wind Claw, ’Thousand-Faced Scholar’ with the Phantom Illusion Step, all are evil skills that the Jianghu fears!" Shi Feiyang stood with his hands behind his back, the Celestial Frost Blade reflecting a cold, eerie light under the moon, and he snorted coldly at this: "We are undertaking the righteous cause of protecting the nation and saving the people from water and fire. No matter the multitude of poison arrays or myriad evil skills, it’s just like ants trying to move a tree!"

He looked toward the black mist faintly visible between distant mountains, a spark of cold light in his eyes, he said: "There exists righteous Qi in heaven and earth, bestowed variously to mixed forms. Where this righteous Qi reaches, all demons and spirits retreat far away!"

"Long Arm Fist" Liao Pei heavily thumped his wrought iron cudgel on the ground, raising dust on the earth, shouting, "Grand Squad Leader is right! No matter the Three Talents Poison Array, old Liao’s cudgel will smash a few dogheads!"

"Heaven and Earth Saber" Lie Quan caressed the Eight Trigrams Pattern on his sheath, pondering, "Since this array combines Qimen, it must stimulate the life-rest arrangement out of fear of the eight gates of scenery death surprise scheme opening. If the life gate can be found..." "Iron Palm" Wu Zhong crossed both palms, a faint white mist rising from his palm center, he shouted: "What’s there to fear! My Iron Palm specifically breaks evil skills, even their Yin Wind Poison Claw will come but not return!" "Mandarin Duck Saber" Xiao Lingling elegantly waved her hand, her dual blades tracing graceful arcs, she said: "In my view, someone must restrain the three extraordinary individuals, then split forces to break the array."

"Divine Archer" Miao Menlong drew the bowstring, arrows humming like a tiger’s roar: "Let me shoot the array’s core with Bone-Piercing Ice Arrows and see how they maintain their poison array!"

"Plum Blossom Dagger" Shan Zhi shook open his dagger pouch, cold lights flashing: "I specialize in striking the enemy’s weak spot, ensuring that those sinister foes don’t dare come close!"

"Flying Eagle Detective" Xie Wen gently stroked the eagle on his shoulder, his gaze like a torch: "My flying eagle will scout truth and falsehood, surely finding the key to breaking the array!"

Little Scholar Shi Xiong gripped his short sword tightly, though his face was still youthful, his expression was resolute: "Wherever Master points, I strike! Even into blades and flames, I will not furrow my brow!" The night on Chishui shore, thick as ink that cannot be dissolved, yet it couldn’t hide the fire dancing in Guo Xiangyu’s eyes.

She leaned against Shi Feiyang, like vines entwining a towering ancient wood, her starry eyes reflected his stern profile, as if it were the whole world’s outline. A gentle breeze passed, lifting the wisps of hair by her temple, also stirring the softest concern in her heart.

Her slender white fingers gently hooked onto Shi Feiyang’s sleeve edge, as if afraid that once she let go, the person before her would turn into an illusion. Her voice soft as newly melted snow in spring, carrying a warmth of unending affection: "Feiyang, see how dark the night is and how thick the fog is, but as long as you’re by my side, I fear neither the most fearsome poison arrays nor the fiercest evil skills."
